Clam Carbonara Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Add the clams, wine, and pepper, and increase the heat to high. Cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open, 6-10 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened after 10 minutes.
• Use tongs to transfer the clams to a medium bowl and set aside. Scrape the contents of the pan into a large bowl. Whisk in the Parmesan, egg yolks, and egg until smooth.
• Add the warm linguine to the Parmesan cheese mixture, quickly tossing to coat evenly. Stir half of the clams into the pasta.
• Transfer the pasta to a large serving dish and top with the remaining clams. Sprinkle with more 6. Parmesan cheese and the parsley. Serve hot.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain and keep warm.
• 2. Heat saucepan, add chopped bacon and cook for about a minute (until just barely cooked).
• 3. Add the oil to the saucepan and sweat the onion (diced) until just before clear. Add the garlic (minced) and cook for one minute. Add the sweetcorn and the white wine and reduce to three tablespoons of liquid.
• 4. Add the cream and simmer for two minutes.
• 5. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the egg yolks, stirring well until the sauce thickens slightly.
• 6. Add the clams and spaghetti.
• 7. Pile onto a plate to serve and garnish with a wedge of lemon. Add Red pepper and parmesan cheese to taste.

Steps:

• Place the spaghetti, clams with their juices, olive oil, oregano leaves, crushed red pepper, garlic, onion and a good pinch of salt in a large high-sided skillet. Add 4 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring and turning the pasta frequently with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated and thickened, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the spinach, Parmesan and butter. Toss to make sure everything is well coated and combined. Season to taste with black pepper and more salt if needed. Serve, garnished with more oregano leaves and crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until 2 minutes short of al dente (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, make your sauce: Heat the oil in a deep-sided 12-inch skillet over medium. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes and oregano and cook until the garlic is pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the clams with their juices and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet along with the butter and lemon zest and toss until the butter has melted and the pasta is glossy with sauce. If needed, add 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Stir in half the parsley.
• Serve pasta topped with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and the remaining parsley. Serve lemon wedges alongside if you like.

Steps:

• Steam the clams in a covered pot (a glass top is very nice, voyeuristically speaking). You don't need any liquid other than what the clams will release. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
• After the clams open - it could take as little as 10 minutes - uncover and cool. Take the meat out and strain and reserve the liquid; make sure to leave any sand behind. Chop the clams if they're big.
• Cook the pasta in the boiling salted water. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the clams and continue to cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add about 1/2 cup of the reserved clam liquid.
• Drain the pasta when it's nearly done and stir it into the clams. Cook, stirring, until the pasta is tender and the mixture is saucy. Add more clam-cooking liquid (or hot water or white wine), if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a little more oil if you like. Garnish, and serve.
